Busch (Scrub)
1985
A lush yet ambiguous thicket of vegetation emerges from Richter's signature photorealistic technique, rendered in muted, hazy tones that blur the boundary between painting and photography. The dense, tangled foliage is simultaneously familiar and elusive, as though glimpsed through frosted glass or a fading memory. True to Richter's practice, the work challenges perception itself, transforming an ordinary natural subject into a meditation on representation and the limits of seeing.
